- Jason: Poolboy Jason (Julian Goza) is sure the new tenant of
the house the pool of which he cleans, Kenny (Fernando Jose), is an

Exteriors feels like a really heartfelt movie, essentially
because it tells its three stories in a very unexcited, down-to-earth way,
stories that have a very real feel to it as they avoid hyperboles
and exaggerated emotions, going for a naturalistic approach instead. And
while the direction's stylish enough, it also remains subtle throughout to
fall in line with the narrative tone and give its very solid cast the
necessary air to breath, all making this one pretty cool anthology.
By the way, interestingly this film brings back the three lead
characters from director Mark Schwab's earlier film Brotherly
Lies, but in separate segments and all as supporting roles in
someone else's story.
